its so hard to think of a name for your channel i am looking to change my name to something else as honestly i dont like scalperhero as my name anymore :( but i cant seem to think of anything
Is there anything that really prevents you from using your real name? You don't need to have an alias to be on YouTube.

The way I would look at it is, 1. is it relevant to your content and 2. is it easy to say? :)

Is there some sort of Alias that you always use like a nickname for your characters?

When i made my name i picked something i really loved regarding gaming and adjusted it to a male version. I am a huge fan from the zelda series wich eventually was the passion to create my current name wich i have been using for many years now :)

my name came from the fact of black ops one which is what i started youtube for when you hit a tomahawk kill you get the medal scalper but now i hardly ever do that content of tomahawk montages[DOUBLEPOST=1487848544][/DOUBLEPOST]
I don't think your name is too bad, why don't you like the name?
because i dont do the content that my name was based on anymore which was tomahawks from back ops one and 2[DOUBLEPOST=1487848577][/DOUBLEPOST]
Try to think of a joke you like and make a name around it. That way you will always have a fond memory of where your name came from.
thats a pretty good idea man ill have to try think of something

What else do you find of interest wich could lead to a name? Be it a certain game or genre?

lol I changed mine from "CaptainAdric" which was something I liked when I was young to Dev_J which is more appropriate to games developer / gamer and I just happened to have the domain name for it :)

My advice is... Brainstorm. Literally write down everything you can thing in the matter of let's say 5 minutes.. It doesn't have to be good it just has to be there. Then you can look at the list and pick the best ones, and also combine different names and refine them as you see fit. You might come up short, but it is a good exercise to help get you thinking differently.
